Wow.  Who invited the f**king idiot to the party?

Subsidies is why so many are doing it.  Everyone else is paying for it.

Have any engineers as friends? Go talk to one.

I never specialized in any of these types of things, but I was an engineer.

Never mind a real consumer using these things.

I’m telling you, electric will never “cut” with mowers and other “small” engine devices requiring more literal power and torque than exactly those VERY small items mentioned - leaf blowers, weed whacker etc.  great for that, but don’t try to do a whole yard with heavy grass on an electric charge.

And how are commercial cutters going to charge those machines constantly on a run over the whole day?  Generator now, on their trailers?  LOL. tell customers they need to plug in some?  Head back to base and recharge and switch machines?

I just. gave a few examples. Home Depot is going to solar all or most of their stores by 2035.  Chase bank in Columbus put solar over their parking lot and it supplies 90% of their needs. This is a regional office with 10,000 employees. The grid will be fine. The free market will prevail. Toll Brothers said over 30% of their new private home construction is installing solar d that figure is growing each year.

I was at my local power equipment dealer today. He said in 5 years all the zero turns  and mowers sold will be electric. Currently, 75% of their trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaw s etc sales are electric. No one wants to deal with gas and oil anymore.

Every company is coming out with commercial use electric zero turns.
 
If you drive up Rt 23 out of Columbu Oh into Michigan every other factory is installing solar.

This anti EV & renewables thing with conservatives is truly the  most ignorant stance of all time.

You never addressed charging a 100 kWh battery in 6 minutes. It literally takes over a million watts to do. It would take 21 houses with modern 200 amp power panels at full capacity all at the same time to do it.

I did say at least 700 full-size nuclear plants, didn't I?  177 natural gas plants isn't going to cut it.

And neither will solar, or any other falsely-labeled "renewable".

WADR, why are you people so f**king abysmally stupid?  Serious question.

It turns out that unleashing a deadly engineered plague on the world, bellicose posturing, currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, treaty breaking, and genocidal actions against ethnic minorities isn’t a recipe for winning friends and influencing people.

Who knew?

Evidently not Xi Jingping, as under his leadership, it looks like some 90% of Chinese factories will close due to lack of business.

•  “My factory closed down, ended up losing over 10 million.” I’m assuming that’s Yuan.

•  “China continues to face a harsh winter, with reportedly 90% of factories either closing down or falling into difficulties.”

•  Factories that has been in business and profitable for 15 years got walloped by Flu Manchu in 2020. “After the outbreak, the factory started and stopped production intermittently, basically losing money for a year. Unexpectedly, the following three years were worse.”

•  “At the start of the year, there were almost no new orders. The old customers who used to order every month also significantly reduced their orders. The entire industry had fewer orders than during the 3 years of the epidemic.”

•  This lead to “severe competition within the industry this year to get orders. Besides low profits, customers also demanded goods to be made before payment.”

•  “In the second half of 2023, he was basically just chasing payments. Many customers were withholding final payments, and his factory had long run out of operational funds. During this period, he had already mortgaged his house in Shinjin for business loans. For these three years, his factory had been barely surviving on loans, and he didn’t know when it would all end. Recently he’s been exhausted, so he decided to shut” everything down.
